Question

he is a pit bull puppy and will not tell me when he needs to go

Answer 1

You should NOT rub his nose in mistakes.A pup will have to go out when he wakes up, eats, or drinks. Watch him closely when he is awake. If he is sniffing around, there is a good chance he has to go. In a very short time, you will get to know when he's looking for a place to go & when he is just exploring. When he makes a mistake, take an old piece a clothing ( unlaundered, something with your scent on it ), & clean up the mess. pick him up, tuck him under 1 arm, hold the rag with his mess under his nose while you take him outside. DON,T rub his nose in it, it accomplishes nothing. Take him out to the spot you want him to go. Put the rag down & put him to it. He only needs to know what the rag is & what it contains. Remember, you are training him, not punishing him. When he walks away from the rag put him back to it a couple of times. You can stake the rag to the ground to keep it from blowing away. Every time you take him out, put him to the rag & tell him to go pee. Do the same thing with each mess. It won't take him very long at all to figure out what he's out there for. When he goes, praise him huge.
You can also get him to pee & poop on command. When he is going, say over & over while he is actually going, "go pee" or "go poop". If you do that, he will get to the point of going when you tell him to "go pee" or "go poop". There are some people who will laugh at that, but I have 2 German Shepherds who will pee & poop on command & my wife's Border Collie is learning the same thing. Once the pup is fully trained, clean up the rags in his "toilet" & he will continue to use the same area.
This is extremely convenient. I have a run/pen & never close the gate. I can open the back door & say to my dogs "go pee" or "go poop" & they will head straight for the run to go. It's great! No mess in the yard to clean up, no worry about stepping in feces while we're in the yard. I simply go to the run & clean it out. Cement floor, cleans up easily. The dogs know, if they're in the yard & have to go ,they go to the run, pee or poop ,& come back out to play.
To begin take the pup out every hour & gradually increase the time between outings. Success & praise are important to the pup. Persistence pays off. Good luck!

At 9 weeks old, he is still a BABY! At this point, it is YOUR job to get him outside often enough so that he doesn't have a mess in the house...he's a little young to be telling you he needs to go outside. He is not capable of holding his bladder for very long. The general rule of thumb for puppy bladders is that they are good for the dog's age in months plus one hour. So at nine weeks, he's two months old...that means he should be going out every three hours during the day and probably at least every four hours at night. Yes, that's a lot and yes, that means you'll have to get up in the middle of the night and very early in the morning or else deal with the mess in the morning.

No one ever said potty training was easy. In fact, that is among the many puppy duties and hassles that are the reason I prefer to adopt older dogs rather than get an 8-12 week old pup. It's like having an infant or toddler around the house.

First, put him on a schedule. Feed him several meals (3-4) per day at the same time every day. This way you know when he's eaten and when he is "full." Eating free choice (food down so he can eat whenever he feels like it) means that you don't really know when he's full and that can mean that you aren't aware of when he needs to go out. Take him outside immediately after he eats so that he can go potty. Also, take him outside immediately after he wakes up and after play sessions (all that movement stimulates his little system).

I would also recommend crate training him. Dogs have a natural denning instinct and are instinctively reluctant to mess the area where they sleep. Of course, this instinct can be over-ridden fairly easily if they have no choice so this means you will have to be willing to get up and let him out in the middle of the night. Use the crate at night when you are asleep and during the day when you can't keep an eye on him.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aMVMf

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Answer 4

Don't wait for him to tell you he needs to go out, because at 9 weeks, it won't happen. About every half an hour, just take him outside and wait for him to go to the bathroom. When he does go, give him TONNES of praise. If he goes inside, you need to punish him RIGHT after it happens (i.e.:yell no at him) then take him right outside. Eventually, he will figure out that he needs to go to the bathroom outside. If you're consistent, this will work a lot faster, but it definitely won't happen over night.

Answer 5

My dog Duke was that way too but you can always take your dog out after he eats and then an hour or 2 afterwards.

Your dog will soon learn to tell you he needs out. Watch for whining or playing rough. Thats how I know my dogs need out-
Duke will talk at the door and my dog Dakota will whine right by you. Maybe try a bell at the door and if he rings it let him out. If he don't need to go once outside he'll soon learn that ringing it will let him outside.

Answer 6

He lets you know when he is snifing around the floor in circles. Look out for this and as soon as you see the signs shout his name and encourage him outside. Once he has been to the toilet outside give him a treat - he will soon catch on. Ours is 10 wks and is already getting the gist of it!

Good Luck!!

Answer 7

You are expecting way too much too soon. It's like asking a 6 month old baby to be potty trained. Ain't gonna happen that fast. Watch him like a hawk and get him outside as soon as looks like he needs to go. Also take him out after meals and naps. Consider crate training at night and when you can't supervise. See the link.

Answer 8

There really is no "easy" way. You have to watch him really close. Within 10-15 minutes after drinking, or after playtime is when he is most likely to go. Take him out then and if he does go outside reward him. 9 weeks really isn't that old so just be patient.

Answer 9

first of all, you are able to save your dogs on a leash in any respect circumstances once you're taking her out. She shouldn't accept the prospect to run into the line. it truly is likewise significant that you are able to spot even as she's peeing and praise her as a effect. convey treats with you on all walks that you are able to praise her for going. So if i'm comprehend-how this properly, you're taking her out at 6:20, 5:20, and 9? it truly isn't any longer sufficient. She must be going out at round midday and three contained in the afternoon to boot. She's purely a three hundred and sixty 5 days previous and a Yorkie, so she will be able to no longer take care of to carry her bladder that lengthy. it truly is probable why she is peeing interior. As for peeing contained in the kennel, perchance it truly is too huge? The kennel could purely be sufficiently huge for her to face up, turn round, and lay down. If it truly isn't any longer too huge, she probable basically can't carry it anymore and is compelled to pee in there. i desire you aren't any further leaving her contained in the kennel from 6:20 to 5:20. dogs could purely be kept of their kennel for a optimal of four-5 hours at a time. i could employ a dogs walker to take her out at both 12 and three. This sounds like you're basically no longer taking her out sufficient.

take him out first thing in the morning and than every two hours. when you go to the door get his paw and scratch it on the door. when he does go out side then bring him in and give him a special toy that he only gets when he goes out side. keep doing this until you have trained him. i have had a very good out come of doing this with all my pets.
